Why This Generation MUST Reject Truth

Let us take a faith-based look at our generation, through the prism of the teachings of the Land of Israel's first modern-day chief rabbi, Rav Kook.

Rotten on the Outside, Perfect on the Inside

How can the contradiction be explained, between what is seen on the outside and what we really are on the inside? How can there be such an acute contrast between our inner essence, so complete and perfect, and our external trappings which appear to be the exact opposite?

Why Such an Emphasis on the Land of Israel?

Why did the religious-Zionist camp take upon itself the commandment of the Land of Israel as such a primary and important project, while ignoring all the other commandments?

Outwardly Lacking - Inwardly Perfect

The schisms which tear at the nation of Israel and rend it to pieces conceal the essential inner oneness which unites Israel more than any nation. Outward weakness conceals an inner greatness, the outward disavowal hides an enormous inner of faith.

Freedom

We, the Nation of Israel, must protect our uniqueness. We must throw off all foreign and coercive influences and become what we really are. What we really are is written in the Torah, which was given to us by the Creator Himself, He Who chose us.

An Alternative Plan

We must focus our concern upon the very issue for which the state of Israel was established - we must return to Israel's scroll of independence. We have to think about how to create a bond between the Jews of the Diaspora and the land of Israel.

A Long-Term Conflict

The conflict between Israel and the Arabs runs very deep. It is a religious conflict to which there exists no solution at present. We must presently pour our energies into transforming Israel into a state for all of the Jewish people in the world.

Don't Cause a Rift in the Nation

If one letter is removed from a Torah scroll, it is incomplete; similarly, if one portion of the land of Israel is removed, it is lacking. He who stabs a knife into the heart of the land, in effect stabs a knife into the heart of the nation.

Tension in the Persian Gulf

I prefer to look for the positive side of this atmosphere of tension which is overtaking the public; for, every circumstance in the world contains an essentially positive aspect by virtue of which it is granted existence.

Israeli Rule: A Mitzvah

"When I reflect on the extreme loyalty to the Land of Israel displayed by the religious-Zionist camp, I cannot help but ask myself: 'What is its source? Does it spring from a sense of religious obligation, or is it the fruit of nationalism?' "

The Rabbis' Obligation to Speak Up

Is it even conceivable that Torah leaders be told not to voice their opinion on questions which effect so significantly the future of the nation? Not only are rabbis permitted to voice the opinion of the Torah, they are obligated.

There is a Jewish Alternative

First, Some Definitions, Political Implications, It's Just Not True. An Unhealthy Dependency, "L'Havdil", Translating Our Views Into Action, Three Fronts.

Yes, We're to Blame!

The Intifada. History. A Determined Stance. On Seder Night.

Generation Protest

Scrutiny of the Generation

The Alteranative

The way led by the Oslo accords has proved costly to many lives. There is an Alternative: We must not allow the terrorists to delay the complete revival of our nation.

Torah and Politics - "The King's Second Torah Scroll"

When Rabbi Tzvi Yehudah Kook, zt"l, was asked his opinion regarding the involvement of rabbis in politics, he answered as follows: "Rabbis are obligated by the Torah to involve themselves in politics..."

Uniting the Religious Public

Attaining unity does not mean holding identical opinions. This is not the intention at all. Disagreements, so long as they are for the sake of Heaven, are a healthy and desirable phenomenon.
